WIP - First post first map

[jfrazierjr]

I love this map over all. You have done a great job at making the various mountain colors blend into the surrounding land quite well... my only issue is with the hard sharp lines on the mountain outlines. My personal preference here (depending on if you are using mountain brushes or they are all hand drawn with line work on its own layer) would be using the smudge tool (around 50% perhaps up to 75% with a med/large (compared to the line) fuzzy brush) to pull down the line color to a nice fade out. Then perhaps a slight blur on the lines also (again, assuming the line work is on it's own layer.) Just the smudge itself will help quite a bit in making a good map better IMO.

btw, did you realize you have the shadows inconsistent on the mountain slopes? Some are on the left (left and top left of map) and some are right (mid right and lower right). Though I had to have you rework such great blending of the mountains, this little inconsistency bugs me...
